Athletic Fields
Hydraway Drainage Systems are widely used in sports pitches, golf courses and amenity areas across the U.K. and Western Europe. Facility managers are under constant pressure to keep Sports Pitches and athletic stadiums healthy, attractive and ready for use. Heavy schedules make this a major challenge because using fields during saturated conditions compacts the soil, consequently threatening the turf.

Hydraway Drainage Systems can be found not only in common sites such as football fields but also in less familiar settings such as polo fields, croquet courts, clay or grass tennis courts, lawn bowling greens, bocce courts, horseshoe courts, equestrian centers, ruby pitches, cricket grounds, lawn tennis courts, Bowling Greens and open play areas.

Natural Turf Athletic Field
Whether it is new natural turf field construction or the renovation of an existing field, Hydraway 2000 is the preferred choice for many reasons:

• Highest “inflow” rates: (Water is able to penetrate the Hydraway 2000 drain extremely fast). Over 90% of the drain is permeable.
• Narrow Trenches: Installation can be done in trenches as narrow as 50mm
• Quick installation: The Hydraway System can be installed faster than traditional “rock and pipe systems” entailing huge labour savings
• Lower cost: Cost per linear foot is less than that of traditional “French drain systems”
• Non-clogging: Hydraway 2000 utilizes a 4.5 non-woven punched fabric. The fabric is specially designed to allow in water at high rates yet will not “clog or build-up” due to heavy clays in the surrounding surface

Synthetic Turf Athletic Field

Hydraway 2000 is also the preferred choice when installing synthetic turf. In addition to all the advantages listed above:

• Highest compressive strengths: Will not crush under the extreme weight of the stone and compaction
• Quick installation: No need for trenching the subsurface. Typical “French” drain systems need deep and wide trenches to work effectively

Golf Fairways

Hydraway Drainage Systems can be widely used throughout a golf course. Hydraway can be installed in tee boxes, fairways, and clay based greens to alleviate saturation problems that exist on most courses.

Consider the Possibilities:

• Faster drainage means keeping the courses available
• Won’t fail due to construction loading
• Ease of installation. A simple trench machine will do the job or you can hire specialty turf contractors who have equipment that will install Hydraway 2000 in a narrow 50mm” trench up to 1,000 linear meters per day

Advantages of the Hydraway Sports Drainage System

Whether it is new natural turf field construction or the renovation of an existing field, Hydraway 2000 is the preferred choice because:

• Highest “inflow” rates: (Water is able to penetrate the Hydraway 2000 drain extremely fast). Over 90% of the drain is permeable. Water enters the drain for fast quick drainage
• Narrow Trenches: Installation can be done in trenches as narrow as 2”
• Quick installation: The Hydraway System can be installed faster than traditional “rock and pipe systems” which means huge labor savings
• Lower cost: Cost per lineal foot is less than that of traditional “French drain systems”
• Non-clogging: Hydraway 2000 utilizes a 4.5 non-woven needle punched fabric. This fabric is specified by many DOT’s nation-wide! The fabric is specially designed to allow in water at high rates yet will not “clog or build-up” due to heavy clays in the surrounding surface

Hydraway Sports Drainage System installation is easy

Civil

The hydraway system can be used for a wide variety of civil applications where drainage is necessary. It can be used under airports, any paved surfaces such as highways and parking lots, planters, railroads, bridge abutments, and inlets. DOT’s across the country have approved the Hydraway System for use in highway drainage because of its high compressive strength.
